A girl has a Shaman to play, after all.  These things cannot take too long.

And holy cow, guys.   I got called out so many times for using my arrow keys instead of WASD….I have WASD key-bound to different things (quick shot spell rotation macros, auto-run/-follow for example), and my mouse has 15 buttons on it.  Chill.

Alright, now let’s try this keyboard:

I never jump to the left to use anything even remotely near the WASD keys.  Which is why I use the arrow keys.

Let’s add another factor - I have a medical condition that makes my hands shake uncontrollably if I use them too much.  So I try to limit the amount of movement I need to utilise to play the game.  As it happens, using keys to move is much easier on my condition than, say, moving a mouse around all day.

If you want an entire list of key-bindings, you’re out of luck.  I have to completely remap the standards to play on a Macbook keyboard.   You press F1, the screen darkens.  You press F4, you get the Mac dashboard.  Almost every ability is bound to my mouse - only requiring a R-option and R-command to complete the circuit.  1 through 0 are on the side of my mouse.

I assure you, my PC layout is much more “sensible” according to you, kiango.

And I would bind follow because the main Alliance shaman toon that I use (which I’m certain your comment was directed to, because it certainly wasn’t directed to my Horde 85s.) is primarily about working on quests and reading storylines.  Meaning gear = mediocre.  http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/silvermoon/Brich%C3%A5ron/simple  It’s not great, I admit it.  But that’s not for raiding or dungeons…Hell, I haven’t even touched a Heroic with that one.  But it’s great for buying BoAs for other things.

  And I think even you’d agree that escort quests are annoying.


So.  Lightning Shield -> follow -> heal macro -> sit back and let it play itself out, occasionally hitting S for follow again.  Don’t really have to do anything except let them hit me, unless it’s a level 80+ quest.  

And as for the internet?
Welcome to the modern age.
It’s called a 3G Mobile Hot Spot.
